33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0903]
RIN 1625-AA08


Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio Valley Annual and 
Recurring Special Local Regulations

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its special local 
regulations for recurring marine parades, regattas, and other events 
that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area of 
responsibility (AOR). This rule informs the public of regularly 
scheduled events that require additional safety measures through the 
establishing of a special local regulation. Through this rulemaking, 
the current list of recurring special local regulations is updated with 
revisions, additional events, and removal of events that no longer take 
place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these special local regulations 
are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic in 
specified areas.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 18, 2024.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) is establishing, 
amending, and updating its current list of recurring special local 
regulations codified under 33 CFR 100.801 in Table no. 1, for the COTP 
Ohio Valley zone.
    On December 13, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled Sector Ohio Valley Annual and 
Recurring Special Local Regulations Update (86 FR 69602). There we 
stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed 
regulatory action related to those recurring regulated areas. During 
the comment period that ended January 12, 2024, no comments were 
received. A detailed description of the changes is provided in the 
proposed rule.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 
70034. The Coast Guard is amending and updating the special local 
regulations under 33 CFR part 100 to include the most up to date list 
of recurring special local regulations for events held on or around 
navigable waters within the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. These events 
include marine parades, boat races, swim events, and others. The 
current list under 33 CFR 100.801 requires amending to provide new 
information on existing special local regulations, include new special 
local regulations expected to recur annually or biannually, and to 
remove special local regulations that are no longer required. Issuing 
individual regulations for each new special local regulation, 
amendment, or removal of an existing special local regulation creates 
unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This rulemaking reduces 
administrative overhead and provides the public with notice through 
publication in the Federal Register of the upcoming recurring special 
local regulations.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published 
December 13th, 2023. There are no changes in the regulatory text of 
this rule from the proposed rule in the NPRM. This rule amends and 
updates part 100 of 33 CFR by revising the current table for Sector 
Ohio Valley, and by adding four new recurring special local 
regulations, removing two special local regulations, and amending 
twenty-seven special local regulations as described in the NPRM. 
Vessels intending to transit the designated waterway through the safety 
zone will only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP, or 
designated representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the 
completion of the event.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and 
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses 
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we 
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant 
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review). 
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB).
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be 
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary. 
This rule establishes special local regulations limiting access to 
certain areas under 33 CFR 100 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The 
effect of this rulemaking will not be significant because these special 
local regulations are limited in scope and duration. Deviation from the 
special local regulations established through this rulemaking may be 
requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will be considered on 
a case-by-case basis.

[[Page 12237]]

Broadcast Notices to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners will inform 
the community of these special local regulations so that they may plan 
accordingly for these short restrictions on transit. Vessel traffic may 
request permission from the COTP Ohio Valley or a designated 
representative to enter the restricted areas.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as 
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of 
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small 
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations 
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their 
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 
50,000. The Coast Guard received 00 comments from the Small Business 
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the 
special local regulation may be small entities, for the reasons stated 
in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small 
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your 
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have 
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please 
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal 
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal 
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory 
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory 
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and 
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to 
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR 
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small 
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or 
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, 
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the 
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have 
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism 
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive 
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on 
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) 
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary 
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may 
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in 
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for 
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in 
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere 
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security 
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and 
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast 
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one 
of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have 
a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves the 
establishment of special local regulations related to marine event 
permits for marine parades, regattas, and other marine events. It is 
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L(61) of 
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A 
Memorandum for the Record supporting this determination is available in 
the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES 
section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. 
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so 
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or 
security of people, places or vessels.
